This tremendous release—90 days, 169 issues closed, and 992 commits—is dedicated to the memory of Dan Kaminsky, hacker, genuinely nice guy, and friend. We'll miss you, DanK.
The flagship new feature is of course support for portable terminal bitmaps; both Sixel and Kitty are supported using a single NCBLIT_PIXEL interface. Extensive work has gone into flicker-free, fast presentation. No other library in the known universe supplies such power, and I can't wait to see what y'all do with it.
There are too many other improvements to really list here. Check the release notes and the 2.3.0 milestone (linked above). I spent close to 700 hours on this release, and poured a great deal of my strength into it. But one must have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star.
Go forth and hack. <3 the dankest a/k/a nick black
Olympic torch flaming, it burn so sweet
The thrill of victory, the agony, defeat
We crush slow, flaming deluxe slow
For judgment day cometh, conquer, it's war
Allow us to escape, hell glow spinning bomb
Pocket full of shells out the sky, Golden Arms
Tune spit the shit, immortal combat sound
The fake false step make the blood stain the ground
